BTS is opening up about the hidden pressures of fame in the new BTS Netflix documentary, BTS: The Return. The group talks candidly about how their mental health was affected during their comeback.
RM admitted that even asking for rest felt like a crime. “I lost my sense of who we are as a team,” he said, showing how heavy the pressure of BTS’s success can be. The schedule after completing South Korea’s military service was intense, leaving little time for rest or creativity.

Jung Kook said making music felt mechanical rather than fun. “I just want to have fun making music,” he said. The documentary shows that even BTS, one of the biggest K-pop acts, struggles with mental health challenges behind the scenes.
Jin reflected on the early days of BTS, saying the fear of failure caused “a lot of suffering.” Now, he explained, the group’s approach is healthier.
“If a song doesn’t work out, it doesn’t work out, and we just move on.” Suga also admitted that the pressure can feel overwhelming. “I’ll probably have to stop if my body can’t keep up,” he said.
J-Hope highlighted the challenge of evolving as BTS without losing the group’s essence. RM added, “We get to wear this big, incredible crown.
